On SSDF, Crafty is rated as 2624 on a 450 Mhz PC. Generally, a doubling of processor speed results in an improvement of 60 elo. So, if Crafty were put on a 900 Mhz PC with 4 processors, it could achieve 3 doublings, or 180 elo improvement, to get a rating of 2804. However, there are some flies in this ointment: * the SSDF ratings are disputed relative to humans. Hopefully, the current spate of games in Israel will clear this up. * Unlike his game against DB, GK would have profound knowledge about how Crafty plays before the competition started. Bob would have to be persuaded to implement some sort of "anti-grandmaster" features. * Adding extra processors does not, in reality, give you a linear increase in computer strength -g On April 10, 2000 at 20:01:57, Jorge Pichard wrote: >In tournament time control it will take a least another 3 Years for a P.C.
